B. Fire Preventive measures:- The safety of Public and property cannot be taken

for granted by having well equipped FIRE Tenders and well trained crews

available. The most important aspect we can rely upon is that how much fire

preventive measures have been adopted by the owners of hotels, Lodges, Camping

agencies, Combustible / Hazardous material storages and Tent owners. I would like

to mention here that it has been mandatory on part of the concerned agencies to

install certain Ist-Aid fire fighting equipments to ensure the safety of life and

property of the yatries. For providing fool proof safety measures the other Govt.

Departments and concerned agencies have to Co-operate with this department in

the following way:-

prescribed in the permission form.

2. Fire Gaps and Passage Routes have to be maintained as per the instructions

given in the Permission forms and maps.

tents, the pitching of tents has to be done in presence of a fire officer.

4. The combustible materials and inflammable liquids have to be stored at

segregated places atleast 12 feet from the camping area.

31

5. The fire officer will regularly check the camping area and submit a report to

their Command Officer after every 15 days for onward submission to District

Magistrate (Yatra Officer).

6. Atleast five days before begining of Yatra the Fire officer will give instructions

to the concerned tent owners at all the camping areas to make them know DO's

and DONT's so that the safety of camping area can be maintained.

7. Assistant Director CAPD is requested to store the LPG cylinders and K-Oil at

segregated places and himself arrange for safety equipments to be installed

there.

8. Helicopter services and Langer wallas will make their own safety arrangements

at the helipads and respective langars. However, this department will render full

support in case an emergency arrives for which one fire post at each helipad will

be established.

The map provided by Yatra Officer with regard to the safety measures to be adopted in

the tented area will be implemented in letter and spirit.

39. DO’s and DON’Ts for Yatries

Do's

• Prepare for Yatra by achieving Physical fitness

In order to perform smooth and trouble free yatra, it is advisable to start

preparatory morning / evening walk of about 4 - 5 kms per day atleast a

month prior to Yatra. Apart from above If you can have daily massage of

your body with body oil, preferably mustard (sarson) oil and bathe in the

lukewarm water , this will help your body to become flexible and you will

not feel tired. Moreover the effect of sudden change in temperature & climate

on you will be reduced to a large extent . As oxygen gets rare some times , It

is better to improve your physical fitness . To increase your body efficiency

of oxygen , it is very good to start deep breathing exercises . The Yoga

exercise like Prana Yam can be learnt.

• Carry needful warm clothings and wind shield and proper shoes.

You have to trek through high mountains and there are cold winds blowing .

So during the Yatra, take Woollen Clothings, Small Umbrella (only Head

Cover with Elastic around Forehead and supported by strap around the chin),

Wind shield, Raincoat, Waterproof Shoes ( Preferably Hunter Shoes), Torch,

Stick, Cap (preferably Monkey Cap), Gloves, Jacket, Woollen Socks and

Trousers. These are

• essential as the climate is unpredictable and changes abruptly from sunny

weather to rain and snow. The temperature may abruptly fall even up to -5

degree C.

• Keep a slip with your Name, Address and the name of accompanying yatri in

your pocket

• Take water bottle , dry fruit, and baked grams with you during journey.
